Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim (Sengkang)

Mr Speaker, thank you for allowing me to make this clarification.

Yesterday, in my clarification questions posed to Member Sitoh Yih Pin, I had asked if he was saying that, and I quote: "the Government of 2008, having tapped a lower percentage, actually under saved". [Please refer to "Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill", Official Report, 7 November 2022, Vol 95, Issue No 73, Second Reading Bills section.]

I had indeed misspoken. Rather, I should have asked if, relative to the Government of 2008 which tapped a lower percentage, this Government is now under-saving. This applies, as well, to an analogous statement I had made earlier in my speech.

I would like to make this clarification and correction for the record. Thank you.

Speaker

Thank you. Order. The Clerk will now proceed to read the Orders of the Day.
